Summary

This study tests whether using a virtual reality headset (REALICA) can lower pain and anxiety in people having common urology procedures like prostate biopsy, cystoscopy, or circumcision. About 56 adults will use the VR device during their procedure and report their anxiety and pain levels. The goal is to see if immersive VR offers a drug-free way to make these uncomfortable procedures easier to tolerate.
